With everything that is going on in the world today, from COVID-19 to racial inequality and fighting the broken system, MSU has taken steps to provide their students what the want. In the midst of a pandemic, MS State has been very helpful with keeping all us healthy and safe. And in terms of fighting for BLM movements and social justice, our leaders have gone to the government with efforts to change the state flag of Mississippi, spread awareness of systematic racism and how to fight it, as well as encourage using our first amendment and the right to peaceful protest. I am thankful for the steps State has taken during these times of unrest and change. Go dawgs and Hail State!
The university offers a unique experience that is inclusive to all races, genders, ethnic and religious backgrounds plus so much more! Mississippi State University is the most diverse school in the Southeastern Conference and has at least one student in attendance from over 200 countries. That's amazing!
Being a student at Mississippi State has been a great adventure! I am an out-of-state student and traveling far from home can have its rough moments; however, Mississippi State was quick to make me feel at home and a part of a group! I was quickly involved in sports and different organizations that helped me meet some of my best friends today. Mississippi State has taught me the importance of going to class, using resources around me, and trying my hardest in any situation. One thing that I would change at Mississippi State University is the attitude of certain majors. Often times, certain majors get praised for being a higher raised income in the future; whereas, in lower income majors, they are often mocked and looked down on and not taken care of through the students and the building.
